Space Oddity Or What

>Space oddity or what? Technology has advanced down here. By down here, I mean, on planet Earth. We are all living peacefully. No poor people do I see. Bet you wonder where I be? ‘Dragon, stop messing about. Listen to me. I’m the boss. If not I’ll tell you to, ‘go to sleep.’ Phew that worked! Now let me just peek. Golly is that first verse, Dragon’s words. Have you read anything so absurd? At peace, no poor were can he be? None of that on Earth, I see. In fact, technology, if that’s the word. Is exploring space, not my world? With a spaceship that’s 2 cm high. I wonder who is that size and can fly. I guess one day real soon. They’ll have a base on the moon. Then send all the bad men there. Of course they will need some breathable air. Do they know there is no air there? Best spend that spare money here instead. Of wasting it on space I said. Overpopulated Earth might be. But terrorists keep population numbers down. Might be why they are around. As the more people they kill you know. Mean less mouths to feed, it does just so. Then there are bombs from the air. And landmines on the Earth don’t care. Who they kill one and all. Perhaps I will be the next to fall. But bless technology will rescue me. By reducing me to the size of a flea. I could then enter that 2 cm spaceship so. Off this planet Earth I could then go. Way up high into the sky. Pass along into space. Leave the universe we all know. Into another one I don’t know. Then after many years travelling up here. Enter another atmosphere. No doubt I will be back here. In something like one million years. And bless, I have gone back in time. Back to Earth, I know it’s mine. Large dinosaurs roam the land. All looks peaceful, I’ve circled around. No sign of humans can be found. So I guess it’s safe to land. ‘Wake up Dragon,’ I have done. Now you can have your fun. Print correct on screen, what I have done. Have a nice day everyone. As the year is now 3001. I guess now the world, has just again, begun. Have fun.' This poem was inspired by the invention of the minute microchip camera space ship man has invented to hopefully explore where man will never go. Perhaps!<
